Harvest Tool (hand remove yield and residue) O 04 oenergyarea -1 ostir -1 op_notes4 ARS template (tool) record - filename is: Harvest Tool (hand remove yield and residue).oprn This operation record is designed to represent harvesting operations that remove the specified "yield" of a crop without cutting the crop stalks. However, one may remove the "residue" also as part of this operation, e.g. hand harvesting corn for grain and also removing the entire stalk for cattle fodder as well. This record is constructed to allow only the "yield" to be reported as the grain harvested and not the additional "stalk" biomass also removed. This harvesting operation record defaults to removing all the reproductive component of a crop (typically this is specified as the "yield" component in the crop record) and to kill the crop. This would be acceptable as defined for representing hand harvesting of corn for example. However, it may not be acceptable for a crop that is "hand picked" several times during the year (like peas or beans). The default parameter values need to be changed to meet this type of harvest operation requirements. Likewise for a harvest operation which woud remove some of the leaves instead of a "grain" yield, such as harvesting of tobacco leaves (yet this is the template that will often be used for developing such "leaf harvesting" operations). See the "Detailed info regarding this operation record:" section for more specific information regarding the use of non-default process parameter values for this harvest operation template. 200x Created - Fred Fox Oct 31, 2005 Updated notes - Larry Wagner Detailed info regarding this operation record: The default "Kill or Defoliate Growing Crop" parameter is set to kill all crops. If one doesn't want the operation to kill the crop or only annuals, then they need to change this value. Examples might be where multiple harvest operations are necessary to remove the "yield" such as hand picking peas or beans. Also, the crop plant component that is harvested can be changed to be something other than the reproductive component (grain or fruit). For example, a fraction of the leaves only could be specified, leaving the rest of the crop alone, e.g. harvesting of tobacco leaves. If a harvest operation is expected to "cut" the crop to a prescribed height (or depth from the top of the canopy), then one of the "cut and remove" harvest templates should probably be used instead of this one. op_devnotes4 Enter dev notes here.
